Discipline of a teenager

[rgG]

Polite but firm. I said you could have a bunny, if you keep it in the garage. If you don’t agree to keep it in the garage then no bunny. And then say, “End of discussion.”

Don’t engage in any further discussion which will just devolve into an argument and someone storming off.

BTW, don’t get any animal that you are not prepared to take care of or get rid of if/when she doesn’t take care of it or whey she goes off to school and you are left with said animal.
